i dont need to try to be smart, i am already.

China will be hit because production is not going on and neither is export.
Nigeria will not be hit by import trade not coming from China.

Nigeria's local production will gain big because of the absence of Chinese competition in the market.

Just30:
that is not the case
import and export trade is not what will cause an economy to be affected.

The squeeze is in the financial market.

I will be checking that maritime stuff this morning...or better still help me with the link..

jln115:

China makes up 28% of Nigerias imports.... Most of it is machines, metals and textiles that Nigeria doesn't produce...... So ofcourse it going to effect Nigerian production and thus in turn effect the Nigerian economy.

Also why will export and inport trade(or lack there of) effect only the Chinese economy and not its biggest importers..... You are literally contradicting your self:

Mzal3ndo:

How many does Uganda and Kenya have?

samorobo:


I have the literal meaning of both words..you bring your results here let's analyse.....

Mzal3ndo:

Economic and military strength are not the only factors that determine a countries influence and SA has not used its military to influence policy since the Apartheid government. When you look at Tanzania, it is currently pushing its agenda across EAC and SADC due to its history with her neighbors, this includes using Swahili as a major language across both EAC and SADC and even overseas, as well as industrialization and trade.
Tanzania having a weaker military than South Africa has used her military several times to aid other African countries and that is what nations remember. So it will be more easier for Tanzania to go to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, DRC, Namibia, Mozambique, Madagascar and even South Africa and get help or push its agenda than South Africa to do so.

because most of it importers already have substitutes for the things they import.

A delay in the supply of machinery only delays a project which is yet to come on stream.

jln115:
If they did then they wouldn't import it in the first place!!

Secondly its not just machinery, its also metals and textiles used in production

Just30:
have you heard convenience and price advantage before?

Nigeria makes a lot of metals and textiles
The importation is just a means to kill local production by flooding the market with cheaper ones

samorobo:



Masturbate on Lagos old images for self comfort, while I give you nairobi current state...

The fist pics was from stevoh18..
While the second is from the Netflix movie on Nairobi (sense 8, from the latest season)CBD ..we've seen it all, there is nothing to hide..

jln115:
have you ever heard of import tariffs and shipping costs?

Yes I agree some imports are cheaper but most aren't and are imported due to either that it's not produced in said country and/or local supply can't meet local demand.

Nigeria imports metals and textiles because they don't produce enough of them as simple as that.

If they did import simply to kill local production as you said then not only is that fvcked up but its economical suicide!!

First Just30 is not a Nigerian,he is a Ghananina..second few countries in Africa can survive on their own..actually, apart from minerals most of ths countries produce nothing..so what happens if we can import medicine or machinery or other tech..just saying...

mtisTheQubit:

Just30:
what happens if we cant import any of those things ... you ask

we make our own stuffs. we already have the man power.

Just30:
i know economics is not your strong area so ill spare you

go and learn

mtisTheQubit:

Kamikaze economist Africa is not ready to compete with ths countries for now..we haven't gotten the tech transfer yet...so you think coz naija got metals an stuff they can go fulll production mode..dude they tried that before..Anyway just to be clear on the photo below, i think Igbos were far ahead of time..

samorobo:



Dude you do know we've been over this city comparism for like 4 year and never for once have we agreed that nairobi is better...see it won't take us anything to accept nairobi is better if it is truly better....we fight SA everyday but one can compare Lagos with joburg (except such fellow is insane) , we've seen pics of Cairo, Algiers, Casablanca and even a Nigerian that has not stepped out
if this country willl easily tell you those afforementioned cities is better......

Dude it is has nothing to do with this online feud but the truth, you are not the first we've fought with online and you will not be the last, but when we see a city that is better than ours no matter the hate we just accept a d swallow the bitter pill...ask SA... nairobi doesn't just give us that wow reaction like you expect us to get...cities in the north and south makes us go wow, not nairobi....she is shitty.

samorobo:


Dude you guys are freaking poor...you are poorer than us in all front...UNICEF and wfp reveal that....

Just accept and move on...

mtisTheQubit:

Yes but the world has changed..Time for reinventing the wheel is over..Ever heard of global trade..my suggestion is to learn tech an apply it...its worked for china an india an slowly is working in some african countries (like kenya )

mtisTheQubit:

if i told you my first degree was on economics will you agree..

Just30:
so now
manufacturing is reinventing the wheel ?

smh

African economies were set up to serve their European colonial powers and this hasn't changed.

but at least some are breaking those hard to be broken chains and are gaining momuntum.

Just30:
i will tell you
they taught you nothing

samorobo:


You hating now you know...more Kaduna for your view, different part

Just30:
actually, Nigeria produce enough textiles
way above demand but texiles from China and India are cheaper. hence importation

same goes for metals

yes
IT IS ECONOMIC SUicide when your own citizens seek to kill local production.

This is one of the reasons why textile importation was banned in Nigeria
